Our patients are the heart of what we do! See why families across Elmhurst trust Dr. Radu and Premier Orthodontics for their orthodontic care.

Came in to see Dr. Radu for a consult. She is very welcoming and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend!

Dr radu is the best! I did clear aligners (sure smile) with her and am very happy with the results. Dr radu explained every step very thoroughly and answered all questions. Dr radu and her team are so personable and friendly. I always enjoyed going to my appointments. This was an awesome experience. Thank you!

Dr. Corina Radu is amazing! She’s really good at what she does and she has been a huge help for my daughter and I. She’s very professional and I am very thankful for everything she has done for my family.

Very warm and welcoming, and straight forward with the most helpful treatment plan!

Dr. Radu, Ina, and team are absolutely the best! They took over my orthodontic care from my previous provider. The transition to Dr. Radu's care was seamless. She took my preferences and goals in mind and tailored the program to it. I'm super happy with my smile, bite, and alignment. Put your trust in Dr. Radu, Ina, and team and they will handle the rest!

5/5 best ortho on earth

I’ve had such a positive experience at this clinic! The team has been incredibly supportive and professional, and I’ve seen amazing progress with my aligners. Highly recommend their services!

Dr. Radu is an absolute gem! I had an incredible experience as a patient with braces for about 18 months. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and straightforward. If you follow her instructions, like avoiding foods that can break brackets and wearing rubber bands and retainers as prescribed, the whole process will be a breeze. Her entire staff is super friendly and easy to work with, and I never had a hassle scheduling follow-up appointments, even when my retainer broke two days before I left for school. I can’t recommend her enough!

I went to see Dr. Radu after losing my bottom retainer (from 1991) had come loose after being reinstalled by my general dentist 4 months prior. I thought I was going in to see if I can have it put back in and left that day with a plan for alignment trays.

Pros: Dr. Radu is very direct and honest which I appreciate. She is very thorough in making sure she is doing the best job while ensuring you know what she is doing and why. The Elmhurst location is convenient and close to home. Premier Orthodontics also offered a payment plan which was very helpful.

The only Con for me really was the hours but I made it work because I liked Dr. Radu and her staff so much.

I would highly recommend this office for anyone looking for an amazing orthodontist.

Dr. Radu is a smart, friendly, high-energy orthodontist. She actually listens to your concerns and explains different options, and she adapted a plan that fit my needs pefectly. She genuinely cares about making sure you understand your treatment and wants you to be happy with the results. Her assistants are all very nice, patient and friendly, too.

Amazingly thorough

Dr. Corina Radu is nothing but excellent! I saw her for my consultation today and she is EXTREMELY patient with me throughout the process. She is VERY knowledgeable about my treatment and listened to each and every one of my concerns without any issue. Amazing staff members with even more amazing service! HIGHLY RECOMMEND

I had an amazing experience with dr.radu

Amazing team and friendly receptionist. Thank you for all your help ! The retainers fit great

Dr. Radu and her staff was amazing and professional. She booked us in right away and was great at explaining to my teenagers how to handle their retainers. I am a physician and would highly recommend Dr. Radu for orthodontic care.

Dr Radu is very kind, compassionate and thorough. I believe she strives for perfection in all that she does, besides being a really nice human

I recommend Premier Orthodontics it’s very professional on what they are doing and how are they treating you.

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Corina and her staff. I moved to Illinois from Florida. I had a very bad and costly experience using a Dentist and not an Orthodontist. Therefore, I had to redo all of my aligners, wear them longer which cost me more money for the mistake. However, Dr Corina made it very convenient for me by making installment payments. She is very patient and caring. I highly recommend Premier Orthodontist.

Dr Radu is very professional and honest, she gave a through consultation and even contacted my periodontist and general dentist before giving her opinion on what could be done with my poor teeth after a general dentist messed them up. I dont know when I'll be able invest and start again in ortho work, but I would completely trust her to have my best interests at heart.
